with his father. For long time the
two Basque peasants found the Ar
gentine Republic anything but an FL
Dorado, where, as in the imagination
of many poor emigrant, men pick
up gold in the streets. They suffered
SO much hardship and misery that
the older man died and his son be-
came a servant in the house of a
wealthy land owner who lived in the
outskirts of Buenos Ayres. The land
owner had no family, and he was so
thankful for the devoted attendance OF
his Basque servant that he made Oyar-
cabal his sole legatee. On the death of
his master the ex-goatherd purchased
several lots of land between the Para
quay and the Salado, and these he
sold in few years at ten times their
original value. M. Oyarcabal's return
to his native town of st. Palais has of
course made Il great sensation in that
rather primitive locality, and he is the
wonder of the day all over the
department of the Lower Pyrenees.
Far from dissipating his doub-
looms among the distractions
and temptations of Paris, where
he might have Il Renaissance villa in
one of the Bois de Boulogne avenues,
a stud of racers, box at the opera,
and be chronicled diurnally, like
many of the millionaires from the New
World, as the giver of Lucullus-like
dinners and the cultivator of ex-
pensive exotics, he prefers to spend
the evening of his days in the shadow
of his native hills AID to do good to
the people among whom his early life
was passed.-N ondon Telegraph.

We are not acquainted with the
name of Theodor Levin, of Karlsruhe
one cannot keep ones eye upon all
the celebrities of this illustrious age.
He is Professor, but that means
nothing in particular when you put
"Herr" before it. He or his friends,
however, describe him as IAN expert,
whose Judgment has often been asked
in doubtful cases." and, prima facie,
we incline to believe this statement
enthusiastically. For Herr Theodor
Levin states in print that OF l41
paintings in the Stadelschen Institute
of Frankfort attributed to great old
masters of Flemish and Dutch schools,
no less than sixty-one have signatures
that can be proved false. Moreover,
he would not accept many of those
remaining as genuine. If charged, in
fact, upon his conscience and his rep
utation, to declare which of those 14l
pictures are what they profess to be,
he would choose only eight. The new
Jacob Ruysdael, Jan van der Nicer,
van Dalft and Adrian van Ostade are
deliberate falsfications. Some may
have been painted by contemporaries,
but the artists name has been shame
lessly erased, and the signature of a
great master substituted. This is
speaking out. How very warm the
atmosphere must be just now in
artistic circles OF Frankfort. Without
any special knowledge of the case we
support the Herr Professor on general
grounds of common sense. If Jacob
Ruysdael, for instance, had passed
his whole life in turning out master
pieces, he could not have produced O
serious proportion of the works attrib'
uted to him. And it is the same
more or less, with all 1.-The great ole
painters of every school.-[Londor
